Hi all
I haven't been here for a while. This was partly because of my old job @mhclg but also because in June 2018 I got ill with a virus & I have never recovered.
In Dec 2018 I was diagnosed with #MECFS and it has changed/ruined my life.
Today is #MEAwarenessDay so👇a thread

Vitally important report from @PlzSolveCFS looking at the impact of #LongCovid in the US.
They estimate that a shocking 22 million American adults are now living with long terms effects of #Covid19. Many will meet diagnostic criteria for #MyalgicE.

Just brilliant.
Thank you to @wendychambLD for supporting those with M.E. in the House of Commons and discussing the similarities between M.E. and Long Covid.

NHS accounts show £8.7 billion spent on PPE in the early phases of the pandemic has been written off. Add the £4.3bn stolen Covid loans that HMRC says will not be recovered and you get £13bn. A billion more than the £12bn raised by the April National Insurance increase in 2022/23

#LongCovid is new because covid is new, but the phenomenon of viruses causing long term illness & health damage is not new. The world has ignored it long enough and now we’re forced to face its seriousness because of the pandemic. Let’s own our ignorance in this area & change it.

of course everyone wants “higher wages” but it’s a meaningless term if inflation rises even faster, partly as a result of rising wages

Rishi Sunak revealed this morning he cannot think about the macroeconomic issues we're facing. His advice to a care worker who can't make ends meet is to get a job doing something else. But who then is going to do the care work? That did not seem to occur to him.

Key chart from the ONS - wages dipped down last year, so consequently bouncing back now, despite what Boris Johnson said.
And the key ONS quote: "It would clearly be misleading to use such large and distorted annual growth rates as an indicator of the health of the UK economy.”
Flat-lining for ten years under your Party's governance @BorisJohnson #Marr should've added.
The cheek of the man only gets worse. I think he just doesn't care that he's going to get called out on it.
Interviews nowadays are just another media channel for soundbites and slogan.
#Marr: "You've said something that isn't true I'm afraid"
#Marr challenges Boris Johnson over ONS figures showing UK wages not keeping pace with inflation
PM: "After more than 10 years of flat lining wages… people on low incomes are being paid more"

Hi @PplsAssemblyMcr I can find any details about whether there will be a rally with speakers at the end of the march, could you point me in the right direction?
I have limited mobility but still want to represent so hearing the speakers at the rally would be perfect. Thanks!

#Viruses can cause/trigger cancer, diabetes, MS, Coeliac disease, Arthritis, clots causing strokes & organ failure….trigger our own immune system to attack us!!
Why on earth is there ANY doubt they can trigger multi-system physiological pathology like #MECFS #LongCovid ?

This is simply not true. Well over £800bn of the supposed debt is owned by the government. So the actual supposed debt figure is about £1,400 billion at most. And that just represents savings held with the government, so it’s not really debt at all. Time the truth was told.
Public sector net debt excluding public sector banks was £2,202.9 billion at the end of August 2021 or around 97.6 of GDP, the highest ratio since the 98.3% recorded in March 1963 ow.ly/szts50GdvaC

So, Johnson’s government is to cut the tax rate on banks by 8% whilst permitting bigger banker bonuses just as it’s planning to increase the NIC rate on all lower paid employees. So much for ‘levelling up’. The real agenda is to increase inequality ft.com/content/b660aa8e-16fd…

Together we can unravel the genetic secrets of #MEcfs🧬 decodeme.org.uk/
This will, we hope, eventually, lead to improved treatments and diagnosis for people with this debilitating condition who have been neglected for so long. 💙
